Are you a programmer?

If you are a programmer interested in open-source development, we use two software tools as we collect. One is a custom video-annotation/labeling tool for quickly annotating the front-facing video data: Video Annotator (Sent a note via the Contact Us page if you want access to this repository. The other is a tool for visualizing week-long datasets of raw accelerometer data: Signaligner Pro. Both software packages are written in JavaScript. If you are a strong JavaScript programmer and would like to help the project, there are plenty of programming tasks you could help us with as a remote, open-source developer.
